If you’re reading this, you probably already know what makes the PM-430 special. If not, you’re in for a treat: this mixer embodies everything you’d want from a high-quality vintage analog console.

• Tone & Components:
  Exceptionally quiet, with the unmistakable character of Tamura microphone input transformers and Yamaha NE80100 discrete op-amps on every output (program, echo send, monitor, aux, and unbalanced outs).
• Direct outs are post-EQ & fader, giving you flexible recording and summing options.
• VU meter lights have been replaced and are good for many many more years.

• EQ & Routing:
  Simple but musical 2-band EQ on each channel (Low and High cut/boost). Dual monitor sends (M1 pre-fader / also the Echo send for external effects, and M2 post-fader). Each input has a 3-position mic attenuation switch. The master section also includes a dedicated EQ for shaping your main program mix.
• Echo Send:
  The Echo send (M1) lets you patch in any external effects unit (delay, reverb, modulation, etc.) and blend it seamlessly into your mix — a powerful creative tool that keeps this console highly versatile in modern setups.
• Output Stage:
  At the end of the chain, Tamura output transformers on the balanced XLR master outs deliver warm, rich, and full-bodied sound with powerful low end. For a drier, cleaner mix option, you can also pull your master signal from the unbalanced PGM-B 1/4" outputs.

Like other vintage Yamaha M, PM, and MQ series mixers, the PM-430 shines for tracking and summing, excelling at delivering loud, punchy mixes with analog character that modern mixers just can’t match in this price range.
